I watched this and incidentally have booked an appointment with my therapist.

Though I hear these guys have gotten the 'Go' on getting this thing started - apparently 10th September, going to have to catch this on television - if we all see Gorden Freeman running around with a crow bar beating headcrabs to death then we know something's gone wrong.

good to see we have a few days to live, I think I will straiten up the house.

I don't get why alot of people are worried about this, i think it's incredible :')

It's probably unecessary for people to fear it - there's more likelihood that a horde of Evangelics will destroy the earth than unstable mini-black holes created by this beast (unstable meaning they'd evaporate) of course we all hope that these people no exactly what they're doing and that there are no hiccups, miscalculations or errors made that could compromise the results they ought to get. I suppose the fear people have comes from not understanding the experiment wholly and words like 'black hole' are quite scary, but we shall see, come the 10th (assuming nobody intervenes)

Yeahh i guess to people who know nothing about it 'black hole' sounds quite threatening

All this 'black hole' talk has had me tempted to say something politically incorrect for the sake of humour, but I think I've done good to refrain myself, particularly as I can't think of anything particularly funny.

I'm wondering what time it'll be on the TV, I wouldn't mind watching this thing kick off...though not doubt some will be worried by the day, 1 day before September 11th, so you might get some paranoid freaks. (I must admit I'm a little paranoid myself, but it'll be gone once they've done the experiment)

Be a good way to go though!Death by black hole

Don't Be Scared. I'm sure your death will be quick and painless if your sucked into a massive black hole!

Huh actually it'd be the worst fate ever. Getting sucked into the event horizion would be a slow montion death (gravitational time dilation) with you getting broke into half over and over again as you approach the event horizion. It'd take a second (actually less) but with the temporal effects it'd suck for a very long time for you.

But hey the first atomic reaction was suppose to destroy the planet. Einstien and company did it and we're all still here.

Isn't the event horizon only experienced by the observer?The actual person does get sucked in, and dies obviously, therefore the person does not carry on witnessing what only appears to be his slow motion death.

The person will be dead way before the event horizon anyway.The force outside it, and the accretion disk would kill them .. violently

And Jack, i meant if i was going to die, i wouldn't mind that happening

But the original question was posed to you in the context that if you knew you were going to die via black hole in a few days, in the assumption that if you weren't going to die via blackhole, you aren't going to randomly grow cancerous cells, or randomly contract a terminal illness, or randomly grow in age to the point were you are going to die in 3 days, why would you be excited?

And I don't think you have any terminal illnesses that I don't know of, do you?
